Here is my 1979 VW Super Beetle Convertible. It is a new resto-custom with no expense spared. Very hot completely rebuild engine, new trans, disc brake conversion, lowering springs and struts, empi 8-spoke wheels, Sew Fine interior (complete with all carpets, brand new seats instead of covers, new door panels, visors, hand grabs, seat belts-everything!), Stay-Fast fabric top, PPG 3 stage pearl clearcoat paint with ghost flames. Also has numerous body mods including a filled radio antenna hole, modified rear exhaust pan, filled front turn signals, rear 37 Ford teardrop tail lights and custom bumpers. This was a complete tear-down and rebuild of a very solid Las Vegas car. It had very minimal rust to begin with, everything welded and primed and then rust/sound proofed before paint. All professionally done, everything highest quality. I also have some parts that will go with the car, not sure what all is there, but if it is VW it goes! This car needs the following: door panels and window crank handles installed (included), radio installed (included), front turnsignals mounted and installed (motor cycle type very small ones are what I was planning on, they are included also or you an do your own thing), and a front end alignment (all front suspension parts are new and my shop's alignment rack was out of service when the car was there). This car is now and has always been garaged. It is currently in N. Alabama. I will assist in shipment or it can be driven, all costs and risks are the responsibility of the buyer. Payment is to be a cashier's check or wire transfer within 7 days of auction close. NO PAYPAL. as in none, never again. Don't even ask. If you must use paypal, please do not bid. If you have any other questions or need anything, please email. Thanks and good luck!!!

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
